Moving is the title of a comedy film produced in 1988 and starring Richard Pryor as Arlo Pear, a father moving his family cross-country.
Other notable appearances in the film include Randy Quaid as an annoying neighbor and Dana Carvey as a man with multiple personalities whom Arlo hires to drive his car (a black Saab 900 turbo) to Idaho. The movie marked the first film appearance of Stacey Dash, as Arlo's daughter Casey, and also contained a cameo by R&B musician Morris Day.
Shot in the bustling East Coast film metropolis of Virginia Beach, Virginia for less than $10,000, and called by Film Threat as "one of the funniest independent films of the year," Moving is the unbelievable story of an aspiring novelist, Ron Fervent, who returns home one day to find his house has been stolen. Pursued by authorities and insurance agents who believe he committed the crime, Ron enlists his delusional tabloid-journalist friend John in his desperate struggle to escape. Together they uncover the world's most insidious conspiracy, and heroically battle to overthrow it. Along the way, Ron and John discover the true meaning of friendship: interest-free loans.
